Birth Injury Claims

Childbirth isn’t always easy. In fact, roughly 1 in 30 babies receive a birth injury, ranging from fractured bones to brain damage. Sometimes, these injuries are unavoidable; but occasionally they are caused by negligence. When this happens, you may need to seek compensation through a birth injury claim.

Natural childbirth tends to cause fewer injuries, with most occurring during induced deliveries or caesarean operations. We have a team of lawyers experienced in handling these types of birth injury claims including:

- Claims for brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation.
- Claims for paralysis or fractures caused by use of excessive force.
- Claims for injury or damage caused by unnecessary delays.
- Claims for injuries resulting from failure to anticipate the baby’s size.

Most medical professionals are extremely caring and proficient. However, when their treatment falls short of expected standards during childbirth, the results can be serious. In this situation compensation can be sought through a birth injury claim.
